Features of planting roses in spring in open ground

Rose (rozhan, erysipelas, rouge) - plant of the genus rosehip. Most of the varieties of rozhany obtained as a result of multiple repeated crosses and long-term selection. In the wild, roses can be found in the form of bushes. This plant has two types of perennial branches - uterine, or basic, and five types of annual shoots: generative, growth, fat, syleptic and premature. Flowers come in different colors: yellow, red, white, etc. Their size depends on the type of plant and can be up to 18 cm in diameter.

Best time to land

If you decide to plant roses in the spring, you need to know when and how to plant them. Spring planting is good because you can observe the growth and development of the rose, and correct any unacceptable deviations in its development. If you plant a flower in the fall, then you will no longer have the opportunity to adjust the development of the plant. Yes, and the difficulties will be added.For example, you need to accurately guess the planting period, so that the rose has time to settle down before the first frost.

The timing of planting in the spring depends on the plant variety. Shotguns with a closed root system and young leaves should be planted when the frost period is completely over. In the northern part of Russia frosts can continue until mid-June. Therefore, it is not necessary to plant bushes before. However, in this case, the flower can be planted in a greenhouse and properly care for it.

Before planting a gun, it is useful to know the weather for 1.5-2 weeks ahead. If there are no more frosts, the flower is planted in the ground. In case of a sudden cold snap, the plant should be covered with lutrasil.

The best time for planting flowers with a closed root system is mid-end of May; for flowers with an open root system, mid-end April. The best day for planting roses is overcast, and the best time of day is evening. The planting of roses in the spring in the ground should be at a moderate temperature.The most important thing here is that the direct sunlight does not burn the young sapling. If it is hot weather outside, then the flower can be covered with spruce leaves until it fully takes root in a new place.

How to choose seedlings

If you want beautiful rose bushes to decorate your garden or terrace for many years, then you need to make the right choice when buying them, and then plant the flower correctly and during its growth properly care for it.

Basic purchase rules

An improperly selected variety that does not fit our climate and soil type may soon die. At the same time, if according to certain criteria to choose the most suitable flower, then it will be able to bloom beautifully for many years. To choose the right seedlings, follow the tips below:

• At the initial stage, you need to select a certain variety and ask the seller about what conditions for growing this flower.Next, you should find out all the characteristics of the selected plant (the beginning and duration of flowering, growth, repetition of flowering, bushiness, etc.);
• Seedlings can be sold as a grafted bushes, and with their own. If the bush is grafted, then you have to find out what sort of graft it is grafted on. Do not forget to ask about the age of the plant;
• It is best to buy seedlings whose age does not exceed 2-3 years. Such plants, if they are properly grafted, very easily take root in the new soil and easily endure the winter frosts;
• Rose bushes on their own roots develop a little weaker. They can also die at the first frost (if the flower does not have time to properly grow the root system). But if you bought a rose on your own roots, then you should not panic, such a flower can be safely grown with proper care, especially since it has several advantages. Such a plant is good because it does not have excess branching, and with full survival in the soil it acquires a strong root system;
• When buying seedlings with bare roots, you need to pay attention to the age and quality of the stems (some of them must be stiff).The remaining stems should have a green color and a fresh look. If they are wrinkled, this may indicate any diseases of the flower;
• The quality of seedlings is also manifested in external features: they should not be spotty; stalks, leaves and roots must be well developed; buds should not be in a state of transition into the active phase of growth;
• The bare roots of the seedling need to be disinfected (dilute 30 g of copper sulfate into a bucket of water and put the flower roots there for a few hours).

Many gardeners buy those seedlings that are beautiful visually. But choosing flowers is not only for this parameter. In order for the plant to grow for a long time on your site, just follow all the above tips.

How to save seedlings before planting

Sometimes, before planting rose seedlings in the spring, they need some time to save. This happens in cases when the street has not yet established optimal weather for planting. They can be stored in the refrigerator, on the balcony or in the snow.

If rozhan is at rest (the period when the flower has not yet begun to grow shoots), then it can be placed in the door of the refrigerator. On top of the flower put on the package with holes or Kraft paper. Once every six to seven days, the sapling should be sprayed with water. When the temperature in the refrigerator is + 1 ... +3 ºС, the seedling can be stored for 1.5-2 months.

If the roses already have sprouts, then they are planted in pots. The best containers will be two-liter long containers. In this state, rose bushes can be kept on the balcony for a long time. The temperature should not be below 0 degrees, and if it does fall, it is better to pick up flowers in the house. Also, make sure that the seedlings are in the shade.

In such conditions, the flowers are seriously added in size. Before planting in the open soil they need to harden. In early April, you can open the windows on the balcony, and later - to make pots of plants under the open sky. But this method of preserving seedlings has a drawback: the flowers can be affected by a spider mite. To avoid this, the plant must be sprayed daily with water.Before landing in the ground, it is desirable to treat the anti-tick agent.

Many do not know how and where to save the roses before planting in the spring. People are especially surprised by the fact that seedlings can be stored in the snow.

If the flower is sprouted, then the longest sprouts must be broken. To save the plant in the snow, it must be placed in a cardboard box and sprinkled with peat, placed in the part of the yard where the snow will lie the longest. Top box covered with lutrasil and sprinkled with snow.

If you keep seedlings in snowdrifts, then they will not be afraid of cold. In a box under the snow, the temperature will always be around 0ºС. True, the snow will melt earlier than at the beginning of May, which means that the seedlings will also have to be planted earlier. But there is nothing wrong with that.

How to grow roses in the garden

Proper planting of roses bought in spring - a pledge of the appearance of a beautiful rose garden in your garden. Every year you can enjoy the beauty of the blooming Rouge.

Location selection

Roses - heat-loving plants, and in summer they need constant sunshine.The best place for landing will be protected from the winds and a well-lit area. You can plant flowers on the southeast side of the garden, for the rose enjoys the rising sun. Climbing varieties of roses allowed to plant in shady places.

Roses unpretentious to the choice of soil. Therefore, they can be planted on any soil and in any garden. But sometimes they do not take root well on light sandy and clayey soils. Also, the flower is not recommended to be placed in places where groundwater is close to the surface.

Pit preparation

The hole must be dug up in such sizes that the roots of the plant feel spacious. If the soil is fertile, then the optimal size of the pit is 0.5 × 0.5 meters. If the soil is clayey, then the depth of the pit can be increased to 0.6-0.7 meters, and the width left unchanged.

Before planting, it is necessary to prepare a nutrient mixture. It may consist of humus, rotted manure and compost. Such a composition should not come into contact with the roots, therefore, it must be poured into the hole and sprinkled with a thin layer of soil. After that, pour 1-1.5 liters of water there and wait until it is absorbed. If a rose has a closed root system, then it is not necessary to free the root from the ground. If the root is free, it is shortened by 1/3 of the length, and soaked in a root growth stimulator for 1.5-2 hours.

Scheme and rules of landing

Before planting, shoots should be cut according to the following rules:

• In hybrid tea and polyanthus roses, shoots are cut so that 2-3 buds remain on each of them;
• In floribunda roses, 3-4 buds should be left;
• In park roses, shoots are shortened by 10-15 cm;
• For a ground cover rose, you need to update the roots (cut only the sections of the roots).

After pruning, the seedling is ready for planting. The flower should be planted so that the site of inoculation was 5-7 cm under the ground. It is necessary to remove the wax from the place of penetration, if it is.After the seedling is covered with soil, it should be compacted and watered again. This is done to remove excess air bubbles from the ground. So the best root-soil contact is established. Next, you need to spud the seedling at 10-15 cm in height. The slide can be removed in two or three weeks, when the seedling is fully established.

In fact, the process of buying and planting roses is very simple, and in the end you will get beautiful flowers in the garden that will delight you for more than a dozen years.
